More Irish Mist - Parsons family

I presume CP is right and Burke's Peerage 1999 is wrong. Please help me to make sure of this.

Burke's Peerage 1999 on page 2448

Richard Parsons, married Lettice Loftus (m.2nd 1st Earl of Mount Alexander) daughter of Sir Adam Loftus, Richard dvp in or after 1639. He left with two daughters :

Sir William Parsons, 2nd Baronet, married Catherine Jones, eldest daughter of 2nd Viscount Ranelagh and died 31 DFecember 1658.

.......The above implies that Richard Parsons died before Lettice Loftus as she married a second time (divorce? I doubt it) The Complete Baronetage Volume 1, page 226.

By Sir William Parsons, 2nd Baronet, is recorded that he is the son of Richard Parsons by his 1st wife. And so Richard married a second time and what about Lettice?

........The Complete Peerage, Volume IX pages 305 and 306
Hugh Montgomery, 1st Earl of Mount Alexander, he married (1) Mary Moore, daughter of Charles, 2nd Viscount Moore and Alice Loftus (2) Catherine Jones, widow of Sir William Parsons, 2nd Baronet, daughter of Arthur Jones, 2nd Viscount Ranelagh and Lady Catherine Boyle. As CP Volume XIV has no amendments to the Mount Alexander title I can only presume that CP stands as above quoted. And Burke's 1999 mixed up the relationships.
Can anyone add, amend or correct?
With many thanks.
